Total green forage yield (TGFY) varied from 36 to 53 t ha−1, and two hybrids outyielded the check hybrid for both total dry forage yield (TDFY) and forage quality (CP; Crude protein, and IVOMD; In vitro organic matter digestibility) traits. A set of promising three-way top-cross hybrids evaluated along with a set of promising open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) and top-cross hybrids for forage-related traits over two years under a multi-cut system revealed that the mean TDFY of three-way top-cross hybrids was higher than the mean TDFY of top-cross hybrids, followed by OPVs. Also, three-way top-cross hybrids had higher/or at par forage quality traits such as CP and IVOMD in comparison to other types of cultivars. TDFY had no correlation with CP and IVOMD across cuts in three-way top-cross hybrids, indicating that forage quantity and quality traits can be improved independently of each other. Overall, three-way top-cross hybrids were found to be a better pearl millet cultivar option than other types of cultivars.","2022","published",,"Agriculture (TSI)","12(9)","1508","MDPI",,"1-16",,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE",,"2077-0472",,,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.3390/agriculture12091508","","",,"Financial support for this project was provided by the ICRISAT−Pearl Millet Hybrid Par-ents Research Consortium (PMHPRC) and conducted under CGIAR, Research Program on Dryland Cereals.","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
